What is keene.design?
This is the home of all my projects, products and art.
My name is Max Keene, I'm a creator of music technology software and hardware. I've worked with various artists and companies to make custom controllers, software and lighting design. My creations are mostly music centered and have been incorporated in art installations as well as products. Since 2018 I've worked with Strange Electronic to design and develop their latest software products, namely Lyrics and Tune Live. These are Max for Live plugins that focus on music playback and performance using Ableton Live. Since 2019 I've worked with Project Wonder on interactive installations that have been activated at EDC music festivals yearly. These installations showcase my ability to use Ableton Live, Max for Live and Touch Designer to create experiences that enable crowds to interact with music and light. My passion in life is to discover new methods of using technology to aid artists in expressing themselves creatively and practically.
My tools include the following:
Ableton Live, Max for Live, Touch Designer, Arduino, JUCE, ChucK, C++
Education: BFA in Music Technology from CalArts w/ Digital Arts minor
